The Deaf Institute

Cafe Bar And Music Venue Part of the ever expanding Trof empire, The Deaf Institute has quickly become the hub of the city’s independent music scene. Squatting inside the neo-Gothic grandeur of the Grade II listed Deaf and Dumb Institute (hence the name), the venue’s dome-shaped music hall, complete with smoking terrace, tiered seating and glittering mirror ball, has hosted scores of critically acclaimed international acts and acts as a focal point for the city’s local musicians and promoters. A wonderful aesthetic and ethos runs throughout, which draws young professionals and knowing students alike for good food, drink and well attended club nights. The Institute also has its own boutique record label (Suffering Jukebox), confirming it as the hippest music venue in the city.
